Beyond the minimum
documents referenced below, other supporting documents may be forwarded
to the court for the processing of a criminal fingerprintable arrest as
detailed in the UCS guidelines, as well as New York State law. Key identifiers
which enable the court information to be associated to an arrest at DCJS
should be included in the documentation.

The arresting agency,
at a minimum, must forward the following documents to the court:

1. Arrest Report

This report should
not include confidential information about the complainant or police investigation.
Other report formats could replace the arrest report as long as the report
contains the key identifiers and detailed charge information which match
the information sent to DCJS. This report should be filed with the accusatory
instrument in court.

2. Accusatory
Instrument

In addition to the
requirements specified in CPL 100.15, an accusatory instrument should
include:

If fingerprinting
does not occur until after arraignment, the arrest information and Criminal
Justice Tracking Number (CJTN) should be forwarded to the court as soon
as possible after fingerprinting is completed.

4. Arrest Fingerprint
Based Rapsheet

Two copies (one
court copy and one defendant copy) of the rapsheet are forwarded to the
court when Arrest Fingerprints are processed and updated to the criminal
history database at DCJS (CPL 160.30 & 160.40). The court must give one of those copies to the defendant or defense attorney (CPL 160.40).

Note: The NYSID
Number and Criminal Justice Tracking Number (CJTN) are located on the
arrest fingerprint-based rapsheet.
